Chapter 12 Solids Flashcards
1
Q
Atomic Bonding
A
The linking together of atoms to form larger structures, including solids.
2
Q
Density
A
The mass of a substance per until volume: Density = mass/ volume | Weight density = weight/ volume
3
Q
Elasticity
A
The property of a material wherein it changes shape when a deforming force acts upon it and returns to its original shape when the force is removed.
4
Q
Hooke’s Law
A
The amount of stretch or compression of an elastic material is directly proportional to the applied force: F ~ Change in x. When the spring constant k is introduced, F = Kchange in x
5
Q
Scaling
A
The study of how size affects the relationships among weight, strength, and surface.
